Description

Need allies? Here they are, fiery and fierce. Discover unique strategies and make the Woodland wilder by adding hirelings. Best with fewer players, great with more!

Hirelings can be added to games at any player count. With fewer players, the hirelings add new pieces to the map, ramping up the tension and giving you more tactical options. With more players, some hireling cards will flip over to reveal new special abilities to gain, letting you explore unique and powerful strategies.

This is an expansion. A copy of Root the board game is required to play.

Marauder Hirelings Pack

  • Riverfolk Flotilla / Otter Divers - Fire a cannon barrage with the Riverfolk Flotilla or swim in deep waters with Otter Divers.
  • Highway Bandits / Bandit Gangs - Terrorize the Woodland’s paths with the Highway Bandits or muster new warriors with Bandit Gangs.
  • Warm Sun Prophets / Lizard Envoys - Bring enemies into the fold with the Warm Sun Prophets or call for aid with Lizard Envoys.

More Meeples!

The hirelings lend their services to players and can change their allegiance throughout the game as conflict drags on.

A New Way to Play!

Discover unique strategies and make the Woodland wilder by adding hirelings!

Expansions Buyers Guide

The Root base game is a stand-alone experience that plays 2-4 players. With it, you’ll be able to learn the fundamental concepts around Root and play different factions that hit all varieties of asymmetric complexity: low, moderate, and high. We highly recommend starting with the Root base game first, and expanding on your game after your first play.
